FAITH
Clergy to deliver
straightforward sermons
this Easter
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21
en intends to take a more direct ap
proach.
“We’re going to talk about Jesus
and ‘He is risen’ and you’ve been
forgiven and
your sins are no
more,” Michael
said. “That’s ba
sically it.”
The Rev.
Brad Miller
at Brookhav-
en Christian
Church said the
challenge of the
Easter sermon
is to make it
sound fresh. As
a practical mat
ter, it’s a story
Christians hear
often.
“My thought has been to make
it as straightforward as possible,”
Miller said. “This is the day we cel
ebrate, that all that the things that
were promised came to pass. There’s
not a need for anything to grab peo
ple’s attention. You just tell them the
story.”
Dr. Mi
chael Youssef
at Church of
the Apostles
in Buckhead
said the story
is well known,
but Christiani
ty wouldn’t hold
up without it.
“The only
reason I know
the moment I
close my eyes
in death that I
will be in Heav
en with Jesus is
because of that
resurrection,” he said. “That assur
ance would not be at all possible
without the resurrection.”
“The only reason I know
the moment I close my eyes
in death that I will be in
Heaven with Jesus is be
cause of that resurrection.”

Seder tradition
Following Passover Seder tradition, Epstein School seventh-grader
Adam Sturisky, right, places a piece of unleavened bread in a
bag to hide for the end of the meal. The matzo is known as the
afikomen, which is symbolic of future redemption. From left,
Neri Cohen, Juliana Zitron and Lior Granath watch. The Epstein
School welcomed Faith Lutheran School of Marietta to an interfaith
Seder, created to engage students in sharing their faiths and an
appreciation of one another. Passover begins at sundown March 25.
